This session addresses the complexities of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in calcified left main coronary artery disease. It covers comprehensive planning including mechanical circulatory support, intravascular imaging, and bifurcation strategies. Attendees will also learn to anticipate and manage potential complications and apply various tools to ensure...

Introducing ResilCard, a novel resilience assessment tool designed to maintain continuity of cardiovascular care during crises. This session highlights the importance of preparedness and adaptive strategies to ensure uninterrupted patient management in challenging healthcare environments.

This session presents some of the most instructive and challenging cases featured on the Euro4C PCRonline website. The cases encompass management of stalled rotational atherectomy burrs, combined use of intravascular lithotripsy and Impella in saphenous vein grafts, complexities of calcium in tortuous anatomy, and strategies for...

The closing ceremony marks the conclusion of the conference, providing a summary of key learnings, acknowledgments, and final reflections on the advancements and discussions presented throughout the event.

This live educational case from St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center demonstrates imaging-guided intravascular lithotripsy for calcified lesions. It covers lesion selection criteria, preparation and delivery of lithotripsy catheters, and reviews recent clinical evidence to guide best practices.

This is a 44-year old male patient with an aortic root fistula to the right heart after past infective aortic valve endocarditis. Interventional shunt occlusion was successfully performed using a transcatheter closure device.

Pamela Gatto provides her take on the Intrepid Global Pilot Study which was presented by Renuka Jain at TCT Congress 2022.

View the case of this 65-year-old male patient who was staged for R-PCI of a Medina 1,1,1 distal left main lesion, and discover how the authors used a hybrid robotic and manual approach to perform a DK crush procedure using the second-generation R-PCI device.

Edoardo Zancanaro provides his take on the GLORIOUS trial presented by Sebastian Wiberg at AHA 2024 in Chicago.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BRIGHT-4 study, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, & simultaneously published in the Lancet.

This study was a randomised control trial designed to assess if bivalirudin plus a high dose infusion for 2-4 hours post PPCI was superior to unfractionated...

Nicola Ryan provides her take on this clinical trial presented by Lisa Mielniczuk at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session (ACC.23/WCC) – note this analysis is based upon the presented slides alone.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the ALIGN AR trial which was presented by Vinod H. Thourani at TCT Congress 2023. The Align AR trial is a prospective single-arm investigation device exemption study assessing the safety and efficacy of the Trilogy transcatheter heart valve system in patients with...
